[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 1196157, member: 25562"] Thanks. I did finally get FileBot up and running and it seems much easier now than when I started. A couple of humble suggestions on things that might help the dimmer bulbs like myself in starting up Filebot: 1 - It wasn't immediately apparent to me even how to implement a script. The startup videos and info could take even another step back and say "so where do all these scripts go?" Seeing someone paste a script into the right place for a very simple process would have helped to key me in. Once I figured it out it was easy peasy. But in the beginning I didn't understand that and was dreading writing scripts and figuring out what to do with them. The info is there if one knows what they're looking at, but for those on the green end of the user spectrum, a super-clear statement would have helped. 2 - Following 1, guides starting at that basic level of how to put together a script and what to do with it. I looked at the videos and Getting Started stuff, but I needed someone to do a true idiot's guide. 3 - The Getting Started image series includes one that I think must be from a defunct version. Number 12 in that series is something I could never track down. If it is part of the current release, I still don't know how to get there. Either some words for context or more detailed photos would help there. I looked for that window for an hour and got pretty frustrated. (edit to note that the most important part I couldn't figure out what moving files.) Now that I get the program I love it. Really, I'm sorry I didn't switch earlier. But coming from theRenamer, which is fully drag and drop and extremely simple interface, it was a bit overwhelming. I'm not a complete noob, so I expect that there may be more like me. All that to say, thanks for a great piece of software. If my advice can help make it a tiny bit better for some folks, then great. Otherwise, whatever. [/QUOTE]
